Highly fertilized gardens already receive an almost maximum amount of nitrogen, so the urine of the animal is the drop that “fills the glass” and leads to the destruction of the lawn in that area. Unfortunately, those brown spots also affect the appearance of the entire lawn.   Lawns that are stressed are more likely to be affected, as are those recently planted or suffering from drought or disease.   In addition to the usual measures to prevent this problem (intensive irrigation of the affected areas to dilute urine and training the animals to urinate elsewhere), you could also consider using organic lawn care products for treating brown patches on lawn , as they remove the risk of over-fertilization and burning of plants.   Other advantages of using organic lawn care products include protecting the soil and the environment, encouraging the development of beneficial life forms in your garden, preventing soil erosion; modifying the pH of the soil making it more aci...

  Sharing your backyard with a canine companion can be one of the best things, that is, until the dog’s urine spoils your lawn, causing the appearance of brown spots in grass . Fortunately, you can avoid long term damage to your lawn after it has been destroyed by dog urine if you use adequate information and lawn repair products and methods. The burning of the grass is caused by nitrogen in the dog’s urine, therefore preventing the problem consists in reducing the amount of nitrogen that comes into contact with the plants. This approach can be done in several ways: Soak with water the area where the dog urinated, to dilute the urine. Feed the dog with quality food, containing digestible proteins that are useful to the dog and also favors the decrease of the nitrogen content in the urine. Encourage the dog to consume more fluids, which will also help dilute urine and ultimately reduce the possibility of burning the grass. Small amounts of soup added in the water that the an...

We all want a green, uniform and durable lawn. However, this can be achieved only through proper care throughout the year. Summer is the season when the lawn needs more attention, since excessive heat and lack of precipitation can dry out and affect it. Fertilization is recommended to be done about once every 2 months, when the lawn is dry, with the help of a spray pump, to spread the fertilizer evenly, respecting the dose indicated by each manufacturer. For proper development, lawn grass needs all the main nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium), in different proportions; in summer the nitrogen percent can be slightly higher, and the phosphorus percent – lower. Fertilization applied in June – July ensures the necessary nutrients for the entire warm period.   The application of fertilizers in the summer requires watering the lawn thoroughly; otherwise, the drought and heat, combined with the action of the nitrogen in the fertilizer, will have an undesirable effect – that ...

Whether you are planning a garden in your yard or simply want to take care of your lawn properly, it is essential to know the difference between organic lawn care fertilizers and compost . Both products are needed at different stages of gardening to make the soil more fertile and the plants healthier. However, the ingredients are different in fertilizers and compost. Fertilizers, including organic ones, are plant food. Plants take them from the soil where nutrients from the fertilizer are absorbed. The ingredients of fertilizers are meant to meet the requirements of the plants. Contrary to the popular belief that they make the soil more fertile, in fact fertilizers prevent the growth of microbial organisms considered vital to the health of the soil. Thus, their excessive use, year after year, can alter the chemical composition of the soil, reducing its fertility.   Compost, on the other hand, is actually food for the soil and not for the plants. It is made from plant residues f...

The basic elements for a balanced soil, which decisively influence the development of plants (phosphorus, nitrogen, potassium), are assimilated by them depending on the pH values: phosphorus is assimilated at pH 6.5-8, nitrogen at a pH of 6-8.5, and potassium at a pH higher than6. Other elements: sulfur pH > 6, iron pH < 6.5, boron pH 5-7, calcium and magnesium pH 6.5-8.5, manganese pH 4.5-6.5, copper and zinc pH 5-7.   The optimal pH for most vegetables is located between 6.3 and 7.4, but some prefer a more acidic or alkaline pH.   Organic matter that decomposes in the soil (plant residues), rainfall and irrigation (they reduce the amounts of N, P and K – elements that maintain a neutral soil), but also various lawn care products ultimately contribute to the formation of an acidic soil, that you will have to correct.   How to lower the pH of the soil? For balancing an acidic soil, it is recommended to incorporate lime, wood ash (7-10 kg per 100 square metre...

Healthy lawn grows over the course of a year so strong, that 3 to 6 kg of cut grass per square meter can result. Growing up, the lawn extracts its nutrients from the soil and thus erodes it. This is how the dreadful grassless areas appear, and weeds spread quickly. By caring for the lawn and with the help of the best lawn fertilizer , you can avoid such “beauty defects”, or repair them. Fertilizers make your lawn more resistant.   Organic lawn fertilizers, which represent one of the best solutions. are those that have in their composition natural elements (poultry manure, enriched with malt germs, fulvic acid, humic acid). Just like synthetic fertilizers, organic products support the development of a green and dense lawn, protect against diseases and limit the growth of weeds and moss.   The advantage of this category of fertilizers is that it does not harm pets and there is no risk of burning the plant. However, you can expect their result to be noticeable only after a ...

One of the big mistakes that new homeowners make in their lawn maintenance routine is over-watering their grass.   The answer to the question “How to make grass green?” is not excessive irrigation, because grass – as a living organism – also needs oxygen from the air to grow, and by oversaturating its roots with water, a;; you do is preventing the roots from getting the oxygen they need.   Excessive watering can often create long-term problems for the lawn, not to mention the high water consumption that will be reflected by the bills you have to pay.   What is the solution? Don’t let the soil dry out, and make sure there’s water at all times. However, so not exaggerate with irrigation; water that accumulates in puddles will lead to rotting of the seeds, respectively, of the roots. It is also a problem if the lawn is not irrigated on a regular basis and alternately deals with drought and high quantities of water. This will prevent it from germinating properly, so ...

Some of the plants that needs the greatest care to have a healthy and beautiful appearance are those incorporated in the lawn. The type of natural grass must be chosen according to the type of climate in which it develops and the care it is given.  Different varieties of lawn not only look different, but also respond to different requirements. In order to enjoy your lawn for a long time, you need to know how to deal with different plants and their varying need for sunlight, so that you can choose the right options. The types of lawn can be classified into two large groups: Lawn for hot climate Lawn for temperate and cold climate Lawn for hot climate includes the following types of plants: Bermuda : This grass is commonly used in private gardens, parks and even sport fields. It is the most drought tolerant grass and does not bear frost at all. Grass Bay : This variety does not require much watering or fertile soil and has deep roots, so it can withstand traffic. It is ofte...
